Claude Sonnet 4 Advanced Implementation Patterns¶
1. Enterprise-Grade Authentication & Authorization System¶
// enterprise-claude-client.ts
import { Claude } from '@anthropic/claude-sdk';
import { createHmac, timingSafeEqual } from 'crypto';
interface ClaudeEnterpriseConfig {
apiKey: string;
organizationId: string;
projectId: string;
rateLimiting: {
requestsPerMinute: number;
tokensPerMinute: number;
};
auditLogging: boolean;
securityPolicy: SecurityPolicy;
}
class EnterpriseClaudeClient {
private client: Claude;
private requestQueue: Map<string, QueuedRequest> = new Map();
private auditLogger: AuditLogger;
constructor(private config: ClaudeEnterpriseConfig) {
this.client = new Claude({
apiKey: config.apiKey,
defaultHeaders: {
'Anthropic-Organization': config.organizationId,
'Anthropic-Project': config.projectId,
'User-Agent': `Enterprise-Client/1.0.0`,
}
});
this.auditLogger = new AuditLogger(config.auditLogging);
this.initializeRateLimiting();
}
async executeWithSecurityContext(
prompt: string,
context: SecurityContext
): Promise<ClaudeResponse> {
// 1. Security policy check
await this.validateSecurityPolicy(prompt, context);
// 2. Rate limiting check
await this.checkRateLimit(context.userId);
// 3. Audit log recording
const auditId = await this.auditLogger.logRequest({
userId: context.userId,
prompt: this.sanitizeForLogging(prompt),
timestamp: new Date(),
ipAddress: context.ipAddress
});
try {
const response = await this.client.messages.create({
model: 'claude-3-5-sonnet-20241022',
max_tokens: 4096,
messages: [{
role: 'user',
content: prompt
}],
metadata: {
user_id: context.userId,
audit_id: auditId
}
});
// 4. Response validation
await this.validateResponse(response, context);
// 5. Complete audit log recording
await this.auditLogger.logResponse(auditId, {
status: 'success',
tokenUsage: response.usage,
responseTime: Date.now() - context.startTime
});
return response;
} catch (error) {
await this.auditLogger.logError(auditId, error);
throw error;
}
}
private async validateSecurityPolicy(
prompt: string,
context: SecurityContext
): Promise<void> {

}
// Access control validation
if (!await this.hasPermission(context, 'claude_access')) {

}
}
